50 cent makes 400 million today
 

50 cent bought 10% of the company that puts out Vitamin Water for 10 million back in 2004 when they released his Formula 50 water. Coca Cola just bought the company for 4.1 billion which puts a smooth 400 million in 50's pocket. Not a bad return on his investment.

here's the story

good for him, thats very cool.

yeah, read that earlier today. talk about a nice investment for him

nice amount of money :)

holy fuck....he must be hella happy


invest invest invest

I can't wait to hear about how many cars, jewellry, guns, and rims he buys with that 400 million. I'm sure he will release a song about spending that money and it will be a top 10 hit

there's going to be a party tonight :GFYBand

gee... and he's just a dumb gangsta rapper... right guys?

hahah...people sleep on his hustling skills...i'm sure his 400 mill is worth more for the fact that sell included stock in coke...and not the kind to snort

Shit no, Id break the law with that guy!!

a rapper makes a smart investment for a change and you're still hating?

Damn now thats a great investement

at least he is using his money on the right way...

i love these fucking corny ass rappers like lil wayne who get all their gang tough guy tats after they're rich

I am more than sure he had nothing to do with that investment. He should, however, give who ever handles his money a big bonus.

Who's hating?


Do you think he's going to open some schools in Harlem, or buy 100 bottles of Cristal and 10 new Rolls Royces?

do you really think it was his idea in the first place to invest in vitamin water? :1orglaugh

Damn, thats some serious money. Bastard! lol

Damn..that's one hell of a return on his investment

Not bad...someone made a nice choice.

smart.

good thing Eminem's jew accountants handle his money.....

Damn, he was smart enough to invest 10 mil into something? He must have money to burn or be a smart fucker.

LOL.
I've always said the smartest businessmen are the ones who are smart enough to realize that they aren't smart enough to do certain things and surround themselves with people who are.

There is a great interview with Warren Buffet on Charlie Rose. It was replayed last night. The guy is full of amazing advice.

Cha-Ching.

Now he can go buy some more rims.

I know right.

Thats sum major coin.

whoa thats easy money

Sounds like a publicity stunt... anyone has ever bought formula 50 water before ?

one of the guys I work with for legal matters is Eminem's and 50's tax shelter attorney .. he told me awhile back that when 50 was getting endorsement deals he was in the store and bought one of those bottles of water. He liked it and call his manager and said "I can sell water .. get me a deal" and the talks began .. it developed from there and his people made some good choices . He would call us when 50 or eminem were coming to his office (Garden City for you NY guys) but I never went down to meet him. It's just not my style.

Good for him

Its in every store here and i have tried it. It's Grape flavor ( go figure ..lol ) and I'm not a fan of grape .. but it is the real deal

I don't want to hear another excuse from any blacks about how they can't get off of welfare and out of the ghetto.

i wonder how many of his investments tanked :)

bet big win big. but theres also bet big lose big :)

good call though.. sounds like he did it more to make a point " i can sell fucking water to a fish "

o man are you serious? :warning

Heard about that V water shit when he did it and thought it was so retarded. 50 cent water? LOL I guess it paid off for him...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh cosign

dayam..im supporting him right now..just drank a new charge +- lemon lime vitamin drink

he must have some great financial advisors:2 cents:

pretty leet

I like Virgin Cola

Sounds like something Henry Ford once said.

wow, not a bad ROI

good for 50, i wonder if Eminem got a cut....
